How do roots grow?
Teacher Rubric Use the scale descriptions to guide your assessment of the student’s work. Assess each item separately, and then decide on one overall score, using the following scale:
3: Student performs with thorough understanding. 2: Student performs with adequate understanding. 1: Student performs with limited understanding. 0: Student performance was inadequate or incomplete.
Rubric Scale
1. The student made predictions about root growth in response to gravity. 3 2 1 0
2. The student recorded observations of root growth in response to gravity over time. 3 2 1 0
3. The student articulated ideas related to plant structures and growth in response to gravity to other students. 3 2 1 0
4. The student used their observations and prior knowledge to infer the reason that the roots grew toward the ground. 3 2 1 0
5. The student included evidence about plant structure and function in explanations about plant growth. 3 2 1 0
